The Garthdee campus has grown rapidly since the Aberdeen Business School opened in 1998, and includes non academic support facilities which aim to improve the student experience.
RGU has committed £60 million to its Garthdee campus in recent years, with excellent facilities for its students and the local community, who are able to make use of facilities such as the nursery, sports centre, medical centre and library.
The Schoolhill campus, based in the city centre, is housed in traditional surroundings, within some of the city’s famous granite buildings. The main building at Schoolhill is home to several administration departments, as well as the Schools of Engineering and Pharmacy.
Also in the Schoolhill building is the International Office. This provides practical support for international students at
Roberg Gordon, including help with visas and English language classes, as well as organising social events and trips to areas of interest in and around Aberdeen.
The Student Association is based at Schoolhill, including the Union which provides entertainment and support for students. There are bars, clubs, pool tables, quiz nights, and a wide range of sports clubs and societies.
